A/N this one shot came to me as I was playing the mentioned X-box game and wondered what would Prowl do. This is the most logical outcome I could think of.

Big Ninja, Little Ninja.

Bumblebee and Sari sat on the cement couch in the Autobot base one rainy afternoon. They were enjoying a stack of vintage X-Box 360 games. They had gone through Halo, Dead Space 2 (which freaked Bumblebee out), Tron, and were now playing Call of Duty. The weather forecast called for rain all week, and Sari and Bee planned to make it a gaming marathon. All of the Autobots were busy elsewhere except Prowl, who paced impatiently behind the couch.

"Will you hurry it up Bumblebee? I'm missing my nature program. You said you'd be off an hour ago." Prowl said with a hint of exasperation.

"Sorry Prowl, were like, this close to beating this game." Bee made the 'this close' sign with his fingers.

Prowl facepalmed. "Why do you waste precious time on such a frivolous piece of technology?"

Bee and Sari dropped their jaws and looked at Prowl like he had just shouted All hail Megatron.

"You just don't get it Prowl. A rusty old fun killer like you never will."

"You know Prowl, maybe you should try a game. It wouldn't hurt." Sari commented.

Prowl shook his head. "I would never waste my time on that idiotic device."

Bee and Sari shrugged.

"Hey Bee," Sari began, "Wan't to go down to Burger Bot? I could use a shake."

Bee smiled and rapidly transformed. Sari climbed in and they rolled for town. Prowl moved to pick up the remote, thinking to himself how pointless games were when he took a look at the stack of games. The top of the stack had been jumbled while the bottom half remained untouched. Clearly the top half was the most popular. At the very bottom of the stack was a primarily green case that caught the Ninjabot's attention. Prowl pulled it out and looked at the front cover.

"Mini Ninjas, fascinating." He said aloud as he read the front cover. Prowl had heard of Earth ninjas, but never knew much about them. If anything he reasoned, the game would provide a rough concept to him. The black and gold mech put the game in and picked up the controller. Within thirty seconds, he was hooked.

The end of the week:

Bumblbee and Sari had finally reached the bottom of the stack. They put in Mini Ninjas only to find a big surprise.

"Weird, all the levels and bonus content is unlocked. Bee, did you already play this?" Sari questioned.

"No, did you?" Bee responded. Sari shook her head.

Sari then proceeded to bring up the game's playing log. "Huh, check it out Bee. It says it's been played every night around the same time."

Neither noticed Prowl enter the far side of the room. As Prowl neared the couch he saw Bee look at the screen in disbelieve.

"Who plays at one in the morning? !" Prowl just smirked to himself and left the room.
